34"H expandable steel mesh gate
Very attractive and sturdy gate. The package was quite heavy, but managed to get it indoors and set up with the help of a family member . Well packed. So far the gate has operated smoothly and stays latched-- a must since my puppy is an escape artist! Do wish that the free standing leg braces were a bit longer to allow for even more stability when the pup jumps against the screen. The ornate wrought iron scrolling goes well with the furnishings in the house, and have had compliments from everyone who has seen it. Very good quality for the price.

Happy Happy Happy
Very pleased with this purchase. I had to purchase two of these because we have a very wide opening to be gated. I like that is very well constructed and does not look like your ordinary dog gate. It looks very nice with my home decor. I have a dog that jumps over all the other gates that we have purchased and this one is tall enough that she won't be doing that anymore. And the gate is spring loaded so it closes quietly.

Very nice.
Love it! Very good quality and looks great. We have received several nice complements on it.

Wonderful puppy gate
This is a wonderful gate for any size dog. Our daughter has large dogs that visit and this is sturdy enough to hold them and looks wonderful!

Best Purchase Ever!!!
I have a small dog (about 6 lbs)... so you would think almost any gate would be fine... WRONG!!! I tried baby gates from various stores in various styles, I tried pet gates from various pet stores in the various styles they offered, even some of the other ones Frontgate offered (no offense) were missing the mark for my fluffball of mischief! when I opened this gate and put it together (by the way it was very easy and took about 5 minutes.. no "extra" tools required) it was the first gate he didnt manage to find a way to climb over (yes you read that right), knock down, or shimmy through!! I so far am completely impressed because I almost gave up hope on any gate period!! Haha!! Take note that I'm only literally on day two of having the gate but so far so good!!! I will update with any changes but I'm crossing my fingers and toes this will be my only review posting for this item!!! I give it an A+++++++!!!

Love this dog gate!!
This is the greatest dog gate. It's easy to use and enter the room but keeps my beagle from coming in and ruining the furniture. It's very nice looking for a pet gate.

expandable free standing pet gate
the appearance, functionality, and overall ease of operation, makes this gate an outstanding purchase. We have 2 gates and two Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies and these boundaries make for better dogs and keep our sanity.
January 7, 2014

Perfect fix!
I have two large labs, that love to meet everyone that comes in the door. This gate works perfect to keep them from charging out the door, looks fantastic too!!
January 6, 2014

Beautiful & Functional
We purchased two of these gates over the holidays. We are very happy with them. They work very well and are a beautiful addition to our home. We have two rooms with large doorways. They keep my husky out of areas where he could otherwise get into trouble. They were on sale at the time, although still expensive, it was money very well spent.

Free Standing Expandable Pet Gate
Excellent quality, heavy metal construction! Much better than expected. The latching gate is easily opened and love the automatic closure. Beautiful accent piece that blends well with my décor. Easy to move to the side when needed. Big plus-no hardware holes in door facing or wall. Sheltie jumped against it a couple of times but it did not fall over or move. I love the height. Fast shipping. Easy to put together. One of the best purchases/choices I have ever made. (safe for pets-there is no way they can get a paw or head caught in it because of the heavy mesh)

34in.H Expandable Free-standing Steel Mesh Pet Gat
We love this gate to keep our chihuahuas where we want them! Will buy a couple more after I save my money!

Excellent Product
This is a heavy duty dog gate. It is attractive and very easy to put together. We had a larger opening 52" and this worked perfectly. Would recommend it it anyone.
January 1, 2014

Exceeded Expectations
Ordering this gate was easy, price was right, delivery was quick and assembling it was done in less than 10 minutes (including opening the box). This gate is so beautiful I cannot stop admiring it- besides looking good, it is solid and the gate opens so easily and automatically closes behind you. What an elegant way to keep my dogs out of certain areas of our home.

Free-standing Steel Mesh Gate
This gate is beautiful and matches the decor and other wrought-iron items around my home. The handy opening allows me to go through quickly and closes with a spring action. Felt-covered feet keep the floors unscratched and keeps the entire gate in place so my dogs stay out of the rooms I want them out of.

Wonderful, Pretty and Sturdy Gate
We have nine dogs and need to keep them out of certain areas. We did not want the traditional gates with bars that attach to the wall or doorway, since these gates were going to be located in our main living area and the spaces to be blocked off were very odd sizes (larger than usual). We purchased two of these gates to accomplish that. The gates are very sturdy, well made and very attractive. They stand up by themselves and do not fall over, even when our 210 pound Mastiffs bump them.The walk-through openings are great and easy to open and close. One suggestion; I do wish they would fold up to a small size so we could easily put them away when we have company. All in all, you can't go wrong with this gate. Beautiful and worth the price. And they were delivered very quickly!

Very pleased with this purchase. Went together without difficulties. And the hounds are out of the living room.

Best Gate Ever
My boxer, Tiger, dislikes the fact that our mailman puts mail through the mail slot in my front door. He has destroyed three mail slots, and I was tired of re-installing mail slots and re-painting my entrance door. To block off my entrance hall, I purchased gates from the pet store. They are not only ugly, but also not strong enough. They must be affixed to a wall, which is also not very attractive.
While a bit expensive, this gate from Frontgate is well worth the extra cost. It is easy to assemble, and it is sturdy, while free-standing. Tiger does not even try to get through unless I open the door for him. The gate is very attractive, the quality is excellent and I highly recommend it.

34" H expandable steel mesh gate
Love this!!! Have 3 small dogs and it is wonderful at keeping them out of the parts of the house I don't want them in. Very sturdy and good looking. The gate closes behind itself so I don't have to worry about the kids leaving it open. True sanity saver!
December 17, 2013

great buy
I was looking for a gate that was both animal and owner friendly. In the boneyard of unsuccessful candidates I have found a winner. This item is everything one could want in a pet door.
December 17, 2013

Beautiful gate
It's so hard to find gates for wide openings that are attractive. Really nice, functional and works well with our contemporary decor. Easy to assemble.
December 16, 2013

Great dog gate
I am very pleased! It was easy to assemble. It looks very nice and keeps the dogs out of the living room. I wasn't sure that it would be stable enough because the dogs are large but they haven't even moved it! Great for the purpose.
December 13, 2013

Great dog gate
We have 4 dogs on our farm, & for years we've been dealing with a rickety accordian style child gate to keep them in the kitchen(i did not want to anchor it into cherrywood cabinets). it did not work well & was a trip hazard. when i found this gate online i thought perhaps our problems were solved, & YES!!! it is great. It is wide enough & sturdy enough to keep our 45 lb puppy in as well as the 3 other dogs; the gate operates well, it is attractive, & was easy to assemble. we love it! It is a well made & very fuctional piece of equipment.
December 13, 2013

High Quality Gate
We love this gate as it is very attractive and heavy. We have two Papillions and one long hair Chihuahua that are active and take over the house. Not anymore as this gate keeps them out but looks really nice doing it.
December 12, 2013

Tasteful and functional
A very elegant addition to our home. Our labs find it special to walk through the open gate. It increases the privilege to be in that area of our home!
December 8, 2013

expandable gates
I am so thrilled with the gates… everyone compliments them. After rebuilding from sandy I wanted something that looked nice. They compliment everything beautifully. They are heavy so they can't be knocked over and look stunning.
December 5, 2013

Perfect
Not only does the gate look great, but it was the perfect size and durable.

Love Expandable Free-standing Steel Mesh Pet Gate
I bought this gate to keep my 2 small dogs away from my Nice living room. I did not realize how sturdy this gate is. Even though I have small dogs, they try and Ram it to get it out, but without success.
I love it! I would recommend to anyone who wants to keep their pets out of certain areas. Works great, very sturdy and easy to build.
December 2, 2013

Beautiful pet gate
We ordered this pet gate after our English Mastiff started to adopt our living room couch as his bed. This is a beautiful and effective way to keep him out of that room when we are not home. I've received many compliments on the gate from people visiting our home. It's beautiful, functional and well made.

Pet Gate
I really liked the 34"H Mesh Pet Gate for our living room. The Color of the mesh was also great match with our furniture. Now much more easier to manage my Doberman Pinscher. I definitely recommend this adjustable gate if you have a large breed dog.

Product Q&A

Get help about this item from fellow customers. Ask your questions. Share your answers.

is the gate latch easy to operate with your hands full? does it lock top and bottom? And does the latch operate both or do you have to stoop down to unlatch the bottom? Is the gate easy to scoot if the dog tries to push it? Our little Yorkie often moves the gate we have now, so we are looking for a heavier one.

You probably do need one hand to open the gate. It is a sliding mechanism at the top only (no bottom latch). Once it is open, you can push through it with hands full and it swings back by itself to shut.

We have found the latch quite easy to work, and I have had my hands full a time or two. There is only a top latch, but it has proved to be all that is needed. We secured the gate with screws, so I cannot accurately answer your question of scooting. I can tell you the gate is quite heavy.

There is only a latch up top and unless you push the latch or slam it - it stays slightly open. We prefer that as we have our gate to block up staircase and since we go up and down it a lot - it helps that it doesn't latch unless we want it too. Our dog can't get through it when it's not latched - as it stays closed well enough but this way you can just use your leg to open it while you may have items in your hands.

The gate does require a free hand to operate. It has a good weight to it so two hands are better. The lock is only on the top of the gate. I have two welsh corgis and they are not able to move it. Again, it has good weight to it.

Yes it is easy. I have an 8 week Golden and can carry him in one hand and pull the latch open with the other. The latch is only at the top and you don't need to stoop down or anything to undo it. The door swings back on it's own as well and latches. At this point we feel it is pretty sturdy because of the horizontal legs on on both sides and we haven't even connected all the pieces yet.

Yes, it is easy to operate. It has one sliding lock on the top where you can reach down without bending (and I am 6'5"). The gate is heavy and hard to move, but the sides are angled and can be moved by the dog so he can wedge himself through if you don't anchor the sides firmly against the wall. But it is plenty heavy enough for Yorkies. We have 2.

The gate is nice and heavy and our dog hasn't been able to move it, though to be fair, she hasn't tried very hard. It latches only at the top and requires just a finger to slide the bolt out. If you're coming from the other direction, however, you have to reach over the gate. When we come down the stairs, it's a little awkward to bend over and reach the latch. It closes easily behind you.

The gate latches at the top only. It is very easy to open even with stuff in your hands. It is a slide type latch. This is a heavy metal gate so your Yorkie will not be able to push it open at the bottom. I have a Yorkie also. He is a jumper and climber. He can not jump over this gate or climb it. This gate is heavy so your dog will not be able to push it out of the way. It also has rubber on the bottom so it does not slide on hard wood floors easily. Also the door closes automaticlly and latches so you don't have to worry about your Yorkie pushing it open if you forget to latch it.

I find the latch very easy to open- there is only one latch at the top of the gate so no stooping required. I doubt that a Yorkie will be capable of moving this gate. It is very sturdy metal construction. We have a lab/basset hound mix puppy who currently weighs about 25 lbs.

The mesh is just like a fireplace screen. It is very sturdy. This gate is put together very well. The screen is attached to the metal edges so it does not push in easily like some fireplace screens do.

No, the gate cannot go on the other side. The holes to connect the pieces of the gate make it so that you cannot change the side of the gate. The only way you can get the door on the right is to face the gate the opposite way that's in the picture.

No. You would have to turn the whole gate around to get the door on the Right side. Depending on your opening it could be done. The back side of the gate is not ugly. It is just not as finished as the front side.

Answer:

I have not used it at the top of stairs, but you will notice that it is very stable and would be difficult to push over. Of course, if your dog is heave or very large, they may be able to knock it over, but I've had a doberman all over mine and it never fell over.

I would have to see your stairwell or at least know the dimensions but for the most part, this gate is just what it says it is "free standing" and it's quite sturdy. We have giant and large breed dogs (weigh 158, 110 and 85 lbs, respectively). Since the two larger dogs often "challenge" gates or simply barrel through them, we decided to turn this gate inward between our dining and living room. The gate opens "in" so they are unable to push on it - works like a charm. You'd have to be sure the gate expands past the opening at the top of your stairs but the opening between the two rooms in our house is 70" or almost 6 feet. the gate has a magnetic closure so it swings shut automatically if you let it go and latches. Hope this helps. (The gate is lovely and quite well made). Denise in Land O' Lakes

We installed ours on the top of some stairs and to make it very stable, I cut two blocks of wood (4" X 4" X 7" L) to slide under the legs and this made the fully opened gate extremely strong. I stained them brown to match the stairs and they are almost invisible beneath the metal legs. Even opening and closing the door is easier and can be done with one hand now.

We appreciate your interest in this item. Unfortunately, the smallest size this gate can be adjusted to is 55". We do offer our 22"H Free-standing Mesh Pet Gate Barrier (item 42958) in two different size options, one of which adjusts between 40" - 70". We apologize for any inconvenience.

The doorway where we placed the gate is less than 55 inches. We just put the side panels up against the wall on each side. The results were similar to one of the pictures on Frontgate. It shows the gate panels extended out from the doorway. It works and looks great.

No. Just set it on one side of the door opening. It will be extend slightly over each side of the doorway, but will be side pieces will be flush against the wall. Look at the photo and just imagine the gate extended 3" wider on each side.

It will not be able to fit an opening 48" wide. I tested mine to see if I could make it fit, and it would not.
